GamingBolt - 15 Little Known Metal Gear Solid 2 Secrets That'll Get You Playing It All Over Again
Added 74 Views / 0 LikesMetal Gear Solid 2 might’ve endured a patchy relationship with players upon launch owing to Hideo Kojima’s bait-and-switch, with pretty boy Raiden emerging as the main playable character instead of widely expected Solid Snake. MGS 2: Sons of Liberty endears with fans though, and that’s thanks in part to the litany of super-cool secrets, and quirky unlockable abilities dotted throughout the game. Some of the secrets featured on this rundown provide ext

GamingBolt - Why The Callisto Protocol May Be One of the Biggest Games of the Year
Added 74 Views / 0 LikesHorror games have generally done very well over the years, whether it's narrative adventures like The Quarry, the action-packed Resident Evil Village, or more surreal efforts like Inscryption. That's not going to change when The Callisto Protocol rolls around, but it will be one of the few big-budget sci-fi space horror titles in recent memory. Whether it ends up as a successor to Dead Space or a brand new experience that surpasses it, Striking Distan

Added 74 Views / 0 LikesThe wait is finally over. God of War Ragnarok is out now, and to call it an astounding game would be a bit of an understatement.

GamingBolt - God of War Ragnarok - What Is The MYSTERY BEHIND THE MASK?
Added 74 Views / 0 LikesBefore God of War Ragnarok launched, many of us had an idea in our heads of how its story would go, and how it would conclude the series' Norse saga. As is often the case with hugely popular story-driven franchises, theories were a dime a dozen about more than a few unresolved plot threads. Sure enough, some of those theories turned out to be accurate- but it's fair to say that in some of its biggest and most pivotal moments, God of War Ragnarok defie

GamingBolt - What The Hell Happened To The Callisto Protocol?
Added 74 Views / 0 LikesBy now, you may have heard about The Callisto Protocol in some capacity. Before launch, it was hyped as the next big sci-fi survival horror by the team behind the game. Striking Distance Studios is acclaimed for having several Dead Space veterans on the staff. Plus, the game launched before Motive Studio's remake of Dead Space. All this dead space is ironic with how much The Callisto Protocol takes place planetside, but I digress. You may have also he

Added 74 Views / 0 LikesDeceive Inc.’s gameplay is thrilling and packed with anxious excitement for the first half of every match, but is then soured by a second half that relies too heavily on bad-feeling gunplay. This is a shame because it does mostly deliver on its promise of a tense spy-thriller action game, but locking better weapons behind higher levels and not properly balancing what is available does a disservice to the rest of the experience.
